In the 2nd round of this year’s Euro, the host team Germany will have a clash with the impressive Hungary. A victory will help Kroos and his teammates take a step closer to the round of 16 of the tournament. However, Hungary will surely create many difficulties for the Tank if they want to achieve their goal. Here is the analysis of the match between Germany vs Hungary taking place at 23:00 on June 19.
Expert opinion on the Germany vs Hungary match
The German national team and Hungary had contrasting emotions after the end of the first round of Group A. The host team, the Tank, is bringing new inspiration to the fans by completely overwhelming Scotland. Meanwhile, Hungary suffered a defeat against the Swiss national team. After the tough friendly matches in 2023, the German national team under the new coach Nagelsmann is showing impressive strength. Although there are still some issues, they are highly rated for their ability to advance in Group A. In this year’s Euro, their midfield is one of the most highly regarded positions.
Besides creating a solid defense thanks to Andrich’s excellent ball recovery ability, Germany’s midfield also welcomes the return of Toni Kroos. The former Real Madrid player will surely bring many high-quality passes and create numerous opportunities for the German Tank. Meanwhile, Hungary has always been a troublesome opponent for the German national team. It is remembered that in the previous Euro, the Hungarian national team with many young talents held Germany and only advanced to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams. The players who scored for Hungary in that match will still be present in the upcoming match. Especially Roland Sallai, who is currently playing for Freiburg and has a good understanding of German football. He has left a strong impression with 3 goals and 2 assists in 9 appearances for Hungary in 2024.
